SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The public has reason to be satieflea with the con stitution of the Committee appointed to inquire into the Administration of the Itoval Dublin Society. It is composed of gentlemen , distin - guisb e d for the most part by intelligence, who will prosecute their inquiries efficiently, and adopt such conclusions as a Clear and independent view of the question shalt suggest. Their object, as defined by the resolution of the House, is to find out if the Society is capable of being so adminis tered as to ensure a wider extension of the advantages derived from the Parliamentary grant. If they shall be of opinion that the institution is already on a (suffi ciently wide and liberal basis, they will express their approval of it ; b ut if, as we anticipate, it shall appear to there that the affairs of the Society are conducted on a narrow principle, such as the public cannot approve or concur in, that the benefaction of the nation is, in fact, managed and dispensed by a party which arrogates to itself all the literary patronage of the country, the Committee will not hesitate to recommend alterations in the constitution of the Society cal culated to extend its popularity and its usefulness. Merely to suspend the yearly grant, and leave so flourishipg an este.'olishment in hands which now exercise•thotabsolute mastery over it, would be to yield the palm of 'victory to that principle of pitiful jealousy and, exclusion, which is incompatible with the successful pursuit of liberal science. We suspect the knot - which manages the Dublin Society would desire nothing better. 'For the funds at their command, from the accumulations of former bounties, would amply supply the uses most dear to their scientific aspirations. But the institution should be preserved for the public, whose it is ; and for that purpose, if its present managers are incapable, or their method vicious and defective, an amended system ought to be proposed, and responsible trustees invested with au thority to give it effect. It is quite clear that Par liament has a right to impose laws and internal regulations upon Societies which depend, in a great measure, upon its.,bounty for support. And the evidence which shall be laid before this Com mittee will leave little doubt as to the propriety of Parliament exercising its right in the present case. The Society or rather the cabal which directs its affairs, is making some awkward plunges to get out of the gasconading attitude it had as sumed. They have qow come out with some lame and tardy explanations in - the form of a memorial to the Lord Lieutenant, which pretends to be an answer to Mr. Drummond's masterly exposure of their trickery and ignoran‘se. But with the usual fate of such at tempts, it. has only served to fix them deeper in the mire. Without explaining why they excluded Arch bishop Murray from their body, they " disclaim most unequivocally the existence of any political feeling in the Society." But on the very day before they made this shuffling disavowal, Mr. Shaw, in their name, and we doubt not well informed by some of themselves, de clared in the House of Commons that Dr. Murray had been excluded because " he had connected himself with the publication of a work which had justly caused much public evsitement and disgust in the minds of the Protestant population of Ireland ; and"—mark this, reader,--because " he had stepped from his former comparative retirement, to become the political partisan 9fthe lion. and Learned Member for Dublin, by sub scaibing to what was termed his Tribute." Mr. Shaw's fa ther is a Vice-President of the Society, and was in the chair when the memorial disclaiming all political feeling was adopted by a majority of 62. But perhaps we shall be told that Dens' Theology and the O'Connell Tribute are not political topics. Be it so. But inde pendent of this little admission by the Recorder, how could the Society venture to disclaim such motives in the face of the citizens of Dublin, who had seen their walls, for several days before the ballot took place, placarded with appeals to the " Loyal Protestants" to come forward and reject the Popish Dignitary ? How can they account for the list of Orange functionaries and marksmen, who flocked in from all quarters to obey that summons ? Can they deny that in order to make the insult to the Catholic Archbishop more marked, they elected a bootmaker into their Society, on th e very next public day after Dr. Murray's rejection. ? It is alleged again that the rejection of candidates is not a common practice. There have been only four rejections in 35 years. But the exclusion practised by this Society is not to be measured by the number of persons actually rejected_ For, as w e olaspresa on a form er occasion, it was their obvious pOilny rather to prevent unwelcome candidates from approaching their confines, than rudely to push them back from the door. Their determination to be select was well known, and that was enough to deter, not four, but forty times four, from having their names proposed at all. There are few men whose station and character are sufficiently high to enable them to brave the contumely of a repulse ; and accor di ng l y numbers have shr un k from the attempt to gain admittance into that Society, daunted by the averted visage over the door. For, like the Chian Diana, the Society wore a SOW aspect to strangers who would enter the temple, and a mighty bland and smiling one, if they would but worship her at a distance. Such a man as Dr. Mur ray could afford to stand the hazard ; for the disgrace of a rejection could not in any degree affect him. It recoiled instantly upon its authors. But private indivi duals must feel the sting of such an insult acutely, and therefore would naturally avoid it, by keeping out of the way. Others who might not regard the annoy ance of a rejection, would stand back from a feeling of disgust and indignation, at witnessing the unworthy treatment of those whom they respected. Such an effect would be general amongst Roman Catholics, especially after the gross insult offered to one of the heads of their Church. And we understand that it has occurred in a very remarkable instance. An Irish Catholic clergyman named Magawlay has attained a very high reputation in his own country as a man of science. At a meeting of the British Association in Dublin last summer he distinguished himself by some valuable discoveries which he had made in mechanical science ; and the eminent men who were assembled there vied with his partial countrymen in admiratio n of his genius, and esteem for his modest and unas suming deportment. Some days ago this gen tleman was solicited to become a member of the Royal Dublin Society. Whether the proposal came immediately or indirectly from the party which had black-beaned Dr. Murray, we cannot tell. On the principle of cui Bono, we are disposed to think that it did emanate from that quarter; for doubtless they would be most happy in an opportunity of exemplify inf., their want of - political feeling by admitting a Ca tholic priest or two into their society just now. But from whatever source the offer may have proceeded, Mr. Magaw a y rejected it with honest and virtuous contempt,. He would not associate himself with a body which'had insulted his Archbishop. Such a spirit is high,..y honourable to the individual. But the circum stance shows how injuriously to the promotion of science, and the intellectual improvement of a people, the narrow system of exclusion we denounce operates in an institution endowed for the support and encou ragement of those objects.—Morning Chronicle. Our readers may remember that, some short time ago, Sir It. Vyvyan told Lord John Russell on the floor of the House of Commons, that the exercise of Ministerial influence in the Home Department was de cidedly corrupt. The Noble Lord, having taken time to consider, assured the Honourable Baronet that if he (sir R. Vyvyan) did not impeach the Minister so de nounced, the charge could only be considered as the `vilification of a calumniator. Various remarks were made in the course of the evening for the purpose of eliciting some apology or explanation from Sir R. Vy.. vvan. They failed ; and the Speaker, naturally anxious that one to whom he was so deeply indebted f or his . elev a ti on to t h e Ch a i r s h ou ld b e l e ft the quiet en joyment of the " Home Department, requested that the debate should not close till the Noble Lord and the Honourable Baronet had interchanged satisfactory explanations. Hereupon Lord John Russell declared that he felt no personal injury from the remarks of the Hon. M em b er w h om he had denounced as a calumni ator, and Sir R. Vyvy an having equally exonerated the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment the Parliamentary compliments on the one side and the other, were consigned to oblivion. So much for Lord J. Russell's indignant disclaim , and subsequent endurance. In justice, howev" the lion. Member for Bristol, we think it rig} to the widest circulation to the corroborative testiniany borne by his tonstituents with referenee to this Charge of mal-administration in the appultament of justices for the borough of Bristol. An authentic chrz, - ,;, rneut now lies before us, bearing date April 2,11816 j gnat at a meetly of the *Om which we learn tants of likistol and its Wigieindled on the sub lett of the proceedinw§ öt his Majesty's Ministers in reference W the municipal justices for that city, W. vripp, Esq., mayor, in the resolutions were passed expressive tit confidence and attachment to T. Daniel s Esq., a gentleman not thought 'worthy by the Whig dispensers of patronage to till that, office, for which his fellow-citizens deemed him eminently qualified. In their first resolution these respectable gentlemen state, that an affront has been offered to Mr. Daniel, and the city of Bristol in his person, by the rejection by his Majesty's Ministers of his name, and the names of five other gentlemen associated with him in the same measure of exclusion. By the terms of that resolution the meeting vote an affectionate address to Mr. Daniel. This address we here subjoin, and we beg our readers to hear in mind that Sir Richard Vyvyan, when denouncing the conduct of Lord John Russell, was advocating the cause of so distinguished a member of the constituency who sent him to Parlia ment, so thoroughly respectable a member of a great commercial city, as Mr. Thomas Daniel. They will then, if we mistake not, participate in his indignation at the gross and unjustifiable disregard of all conside rations, save those of party influence, by which the •Whig Government are disgracefully distinguished : " TO THOMAS DANIEL, ESQ. " At a moment, Sir, when by a most arbitrary and wan ton act of Ministerial power the city finds itself deprived of the services of the oldest, the most experienced, and the most respected of its magistrates, we, your brother citizens, indignant at the affront which has been offered to you, and to our city in your person, are led by a strong feeling of what is due to long-proved worth and excellence to mark, by some public expression, our sense of the enor mity of this proceeding, and to assure you that it has only served to increase, if possible, the estimation in which you are held amongst us. " That in the evening of an active and well-spent life, so large a portion of which has been devoted to the general good, you should have felt a reluctance to embark in any new course of public labours, it was natural to expect ; your declining, therefore, to undertake the office of mayor, to which, under the new system of municipal administration, you had, with the universal approbation of your fellow citizens, been elected, could not be a matter of surprise to any ; still, however, looking to the vigour of mind and health with which it bath pleased the Almighty to bless you, we had indulged the hope that, on the bench of justices, you would have yet continued, for many years, to dispense to the city the benefit of your intelligence and ex perience. You may judge, therefore, of the mingled feel ings of astonishment and disgust with which we learned that your name had been rejected from the list of gentlemen returned by the town-council as proper persons to be ap pointed justices for the borough—an outrage on the feelings of the citizens wholly unmerited, and which, if meant as a degradation of the individual against whom it was directed, has signally failed of its object, the only effect it has pro duced having been, to bring into more prominent view those virtues and merits which, by his Majesty's Government, have been thought worthy of such a reward. " To the other respectable gentlemen of the Corporation whose names have been included with yours in the same measure of rejection, and probably for the same reason— their zeal in the defence of the institutions of their country —it must be a subject of just pride that they have been deemed deserving of being so associated. " The exemplary manner in which your, Sir, have ful filled the various relations of life, as a . magistrate, as a mer chant, as the head of a family—in a word, as a good citi zen and good subject, anxious for the public welfare, and ever ready to step forward in its support, is a theme upon which, however grateful to us, our respect for your feelings forbids us to dwell. Thus much, however, we may be per mitted to say, that the firmness and constancy displayed by you in the discharge of your public duties, and the inte- grity and urbanity which have marked your intercourse with society, have secured to you the affections and esteem of your fellow-citizens—a reflection which, to your mind, must, we are sure, be a source of pure and lasting grati fication." It will be remembered, that Lord J. Russell conde scended to rest his rejection of this gentleman upon the authority of statements made to him, that Mr. Daniel had been heard to complain of occasional deafness, and to lament that he could not rely upon► his memory so confidently as he could wish. The imputation of physical imbecility thus offensively cast upon a gentleman whom age would never have rendered unfit for the bench, if independence had not made him unpopular in Downing -street, is indig nantly rebutted by the affectionate address of his fel low-citizens. Proud of this testimony to the regard in which he is held, Mr. Daniel may safely despise the slight which has been put upon him. " The only effect it has produced has been to bring into more pro minent view those virtues and merits which by His Majesty's Government have been thought worthy of such a reward." To Mr. Daniel, at the close of a long and honourable career, such a testimony from his fellow-citizens must indeed be invaluable ; but the passage of this address which to us appears to bear out the indignant denunciation of Sir Richard Vyvyan against the Whig-Radical Government is the fol lowing : " To the other respectable gentlemen of the corporation whose names have been included with yours in the same measure of rejection, and probably for the same reasons— their zeal in the defence of the institutions of their country, —it must be a subject of just pride that they have been deemed deserving of being so associated." The citizens of Bristol may be assured that the class of those whose zeal in the defence of the institu tions of their country has given umbrage to a dena tionalized Government is a most comprehensive one, and that the just pride of being associated with that class is the holdfast of the patriotism of England.— Times. The foreign appointments of the Government are not of a nature to inspire confidence or afford satis faction. When we name Lords Napier, Gosford, Sligo, and Elphinstone, Sir Robert Grant, and Sir Francis tlead, and when we crown all these with that of our Ambassador at the Court of the Czar, who is there but must tremble at the consequences which so many mistaken delegations of the Kingly power but too fearfully represent ? Nothing is more irksome than the attempt to analyse unfavourably personal character. From this, therefore, we are anxious to refrain, only observing that mere negative merit, or the absence of palpable demerit, though they may qualify a man for taking part in the common concerns of life, and for public situations of a lower grade, and of little or no responsibility, establish of themselves his unfit ness for exercising even more than Kingly power in distant settlements, where no recourse can be had till too late to a better judgment to correct their own. Whether we point to India or to Canada—to the West Indies or, St. Petersburgh—when was there a period when more skill, more prudence, prompti tude, and energy were required in those to whom our interests are confided ?—While, looking at the names which we have furnished, what confidence can the country place in them, one and all, as likely to realise its just expectations at so important a crisis ? In sonic instances it would seem as if the most improper persons had actually been singled out for the most important appointments, and as if the dull and untalented, the ill-tempered and indiscreet classes of society had been ransacked, to discover. who were the most deficient in the requisites which our colonial and diplomatic interests at this time so loudly called for. Though we may appear to express our selves strongly, we do so much more in sorrow than in anger. We hav e no s pl een or p er sonal dislikes to gratify, in speaking as we ha v e done of the great bulk of the foreign appointments' which we have lately wit nessed. leit were true that the country actually had not first-rate talents to employ in her service—if she can rerilly find none more fitting than a Lord of the Bedcb.amber to rule over millibns of subjects in a dis turbed and dist an t province —then, indeed, it behoves her to submit in silence to her fate. But as such is not. the case, and as the evil, we are persuaded, rests soi,ely in an indiscriminate tl • half of nrsfor pa ronage, t t on be half whose qu a lifi ca ti ons for what they sc;ek are least of all considered, we feel it our duty to etenouri coun'.a.y, e an it as a system most f a t a lly ru i nous to the d one which, in the worst days of an unre f°%med Parliament, would never have been allowed to pass in that silent acquiescence with which it is now received,--Morning Herald. To abolish the system of black slavery in our colo nies, and to perpetuate the system of white slavery in THE SUN, LONDON, T the centEd the empi re , i s th e anomaly which Eng- • land pres en t s t o t h e c i v ili ze d wor ld at t h e present day. For the of this latter species of slavery the late — able and philanthropic Mr. Sadler laboured in vaitty et hull altogether in vain. The facts which he collected, and the knowledge which he diffused of that situation and sufferings of the infant victims of the mautifaciiiring Moloch, haVe not been lost upon the mind of society, although our Government and our House of Commons were far too "liberal " to be either humane df just: That information---moral , Mf. Sadler prOcuredi . showing the dreadful working of the system, has not perished with the eloquent and indefatigable advocate of the cause of the helpless factory children—it is not buried in his grave. Like the knowledge col lected by the venerable Clarkson on the slave trade, it has worked effects upon public opinion, w hich, though not visible at once, will eventually overcome the obstacles that sordid cupidity oppose to the vindi cation of the rights of outraged humanity. At this time, when the supporters of the factory system have the audacity to attempt a repeal of the Act which was passed to afford a scanty and imperfect pro tection to the factory children, instead of the full and efficient relief which the Bill of Mr. Sadler, subse quently introduced by Lord Ashley, would have given, it becomes not unnecessary to remind the public of the evidence which was obtained by the Select Committee of the House of Commons in 1832—evidence which proves that the very liberal philosophers, who regard the poor and their offspring as mere machines for the increase of the rich man's wealth, are as ruthless tor-. turers and destroyers of the human race as the most callous tyrants that ever slaughtered mankind for their ambition or pastime. There sre many persons who assume the name of " Liberals" in this country, whose " liberality" is as much opposed to all the generous qualities of human nature, and to every sense of jus tice, as can be imagined. Such persons Dr. Chal mers did not too strongly depict in the revolting colours of their heartless doctrines, when he described them as persons who " look on human beings as so many pieces of machinery, and the living principle within them as the power which set the machinery in motion, and their sole object to get out of the ma chinery as much work as possible at the least expense." The two grand provisions of Mr. Sadler's Bill were to prevent children under nine years of age from being worked in factories, and to confine the labour of the employed children to ten hours a day. Upon this sub ject Sir Anthony Carlisle, whose talents, great expe rience, and high character as a surgeon, gives peculiar weight to his testimony, says, " I think beyond 10 hours' labour quite incompatible with health and moral propriety, for if the creature is to be a moral agent, and not a machine or mere animal, you must have some consideration for its moral character as well as its health." "My own opinion is, that to labour in the factory a child under nine years of age is to condemn and treat it as a criminal. It is a punishment which inflicts upon it ruin of its bodily and moral health, and renders it an inefficient member of the community, both to itself and progeny. It is to my mind an offence against nature, which, alas, is visited upon the innocent creature instead of its oppressor, by the loss of its health or the premature destruction of its race." Again— " Factory children demand legislative protection for their own sakes, and for the sake of future generations of English labourers, because every succeeding generation will be progressively deteriorated, V you do not stop these sins against nature and humanity." The cele brated Sir William Blizard, who was Surgeon to the London Hospital for half a century, and nearly half that time Lecturer on Surgery, Anatomy, and Phy siology in that Hospital, and in the Royal College of Surgeons, was asked whether he could have any doubt in saving that such a degree of labour as extended to 13, 14, or 15 hours out of the twenty-four, and some times to 17 or 18, must, in a great plurality of cases, be injurious to the health and constitution. His an swer was, horribly so. He was asked, "Do you think the average of such hours of labour would be an extravagant imposition on the human frame ?" His answer was, dreadful. He also stated that not more than ten hours' actual labour ought to be demanded in behalf of young persons between nine and eighteen, and added, " I heartily concur in that opinion of my late honoured friend, Dr. Baillie, that the duration of a day's actual labour of ten hours is quite enough, and as much as can be ordinarily endured at any age with impunity." Sir Charles Bell, Professor to the Royal College, &c., says—" From .nine to eighteen years of age, ten hours' labour a day, to which must be added the time necessary for taking meals and refreshment, making twelve hours a day, is as much as can be endured, generally speaking, with impunity by those so occupied, and more than that is painful in idea." Joseph Henry Green, F.R.S., Surgeon of St. Thomas's Hospital, and Professor of Surgery at King's College, says, " This is indeed a melancholy list of maladies (scrofula tending to pro duce spinal complaints, white swellings, pulmonary consumptions, &c.) and one which, I am sorry to say, might be greatly augmented, as traceable to the neg lect and improper management of those whose tender years demand, and lay claim to our sympathy and kind est care and attention." He emphatically adds, " I fear that this country will have much to answer for in permitting the growth of that system of employing children in factories, which tends directly to the crea tion_ of all those circumstances which inevitably lead to disease." To Mr. Poulett Thomson, the great statesman of the mill-owners, and his coadjutors in the work of getting as much labour as possible, at the least expense, out of the infant machines, we recom mend for the present these portions of the medical evidence. Other portions of the evidence we shall bring under the notice of the legislative upholders of infant white slavery, and the Government that favours them, as occasion serves.—Morning Herald. Our readers cannot have forgotten the statement re specting the appointment of justices for the city of Bristol made to the House of Commons by Sir Ro bert Peel, and uncontradicted by Lord John Russell. The majority of the Town-councillors is Conservative. That majority, following the example set them by other Town-councils of which the majority is De structive, might have recommended to the Home-office a list composed exclusively of Conservative names. They acted with greater moderation than is customary with their political opponents. They admitted that it was desirable to free the bench of justice from even the suspicion of partiality. They consented, for the full accomplishment of this object, that of twenty-four names to be recommended to the Home-office twelve should be selected by the Tory majority, and twelve by the Whig minority. This • compact having been made, . twelve gentlemen were no minated on each side. On the whole, an un objectionable choice was made. Nevertheless, it must be mentioned that some exceptions were taken to one or two individuals of the Radical list, while of the Tory list there was not one upon whom a shade of scruple could rest. The twenty-four names were submitted to Lord John Russell. Of the twelve names selected by the Radical minority Lord John Russell rejected none ; of the twelve' names se lected by the Tory majority Lord J. Russell rejected six. The six gentlemen whom the Noble Lord deems unfit to perform the functions of which the advisers, in whom lie professes implicit confidence, held them per fectly capable, are all well worthy of the reliance re posed on them by those who know them best. But amongst them there happens to be one individual so much distinguished above the rest by the veneration and love of his fellow-citizens, that Lord John Russell seems to have singled him out for exclusion, in order to show that long experience, strict integrity, blameless character, become disqualifications for the judicial office, when they are found in the person , of a p o li t i ca l opponent. We believe there a re sc arcely tobefou n n a d m a e score of men in Bristol , whate ve r th eir rank and what ever their opinions, who , be in g asked what should be first inscribed on the roll of the new justices for the city, would nothe am natoen, therefore,cehave Mr. Thomas Daniel. The Thomas Daniel is erased by Lord John Russell from the list. When Sir R. Peel appealed to the was forcibly h e l y li s t r ug of ur ge d up on House of Commons upon the sub j ect of the appoint ment of justices under the nev.irel in Act, the re j ection o f magis tratest he name for of the Mr.oity of ThoßmraisatDolan the attention of Lord J. Russell, as a procedure of ESDANT, APRIL 5, 1836. which, in justice to a highly respectable person, and in justice to a numerous body of his townsmen, his Lordship ought to give some explanation. His Lordship accordingly explained that he did not dis pute Mr. Daniel's uprightness, 'knowledge, experi ence ; but that he had understood Mr. Daniel was grow ing old—he had heard that Mr. Daniel bad declined to be mayor - on the score of his advancing years-, and had been informed on good authority that Mr. Daniel had complained more than once that his me mory was not so sound as it had been twenty years ago: It was replied, most conclusively , by S ir R. Vyvyan, that if Mr. Daniel was growing old he was not yet so old Eifi some gentlemen in other bo roughs, who, being supporters of the Melbourne ' Cabinet, had not been reckoned too infirm for a seat upon the . magistrates' bench ; that if Mr. Daniel had declined to accept the mayoralty, the offer of it testified the belief entertained of his capacity, while his 'reluctance to undertake the new duties of the presi dency of a new system of municipal government could not fairly be construed into a desire to escape from the continued performance of those duties which he had long ably discharged ; and that, if Mr. Daniel had complained of an occasional lapse of memory, it was sheer malignity to found a serious charge of mental de bility upon the casual confessions of one who jests cheerfully at the infirmities which commonly bel on g to his age, before they are either felt by himself or per ceived by others. But a more complete answer to the unworthy insinuations of Lord John Russell is found in an address which is shortly to be presented to Mr. Daniel, and of which we insert a copy in another co lumn. 'The excellent . man whom the Home Office has vainly insulted may, well be proud of the tribute here paid to his venerable and virtuous old age.—Morning Post. The restoration of Lord Brudenell to active service and full pay, is a measure with which the public get more and more dissatisfied:* It is altogether an " un toward affair," and has done much to injure the Ad ministration of Lord Melbourne. It is to be hoped that the discussions which have taken place on the subject, both within and without the walls of Parlia ment, will have the effect of obviating the present anomalous state of patronage in the army. At pre sent there can hardly be said to exist any responsibility in the case of improper appointments. Lord Hill, as the Commander-in-Chief, has, in the first instance, the right of nominating any person he thinks proper to any of the higher offices in the army ; but his appoint ments are all subject to the approval of the Go vernment. Hence all responsibility is taken from him, while it cannot be said to be transferred to Ministers, inasmuch as they never interfere with the way in which he administers his patronage. This is a state of things which must no longer be suffered to exist. It is of the utmost importance to the character of the Army itself that a tangible respon sibility should exist somewhere ; and it is equally es sential to the character of the Ministry that they should not labour under the imputation of being guilty of the improper acts of other parties by a supposed sanction of them. The anomaly may be easily obviated. Why not vest the responsibility in the Secretary at War ? Why not let the right of all appointments in the army centre in him, instead of making it a mere nominal affair in the hands of the Ministry as a body ? Until some such determination has been come to by Govern ment, we will never have any guarantee for proper ap pointments, nor any responsibility in the case of im proper ones. Of Lord Brudenell's appointment, we can say nothing that has not been already stated. A more improper act than that of thrusting him again on the army, under all the circumstances of the case, was never performed by any Commander-in-Chief. Such appointments at once lower the character of him who makes them, and of the Ministry who are supposed to sanction them, besides doing infinite injury to the service.—Morning Advertises. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Yesterday, a man who looked like bricklayer's labourer, and whose name is William Roberts, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged by Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd, of the house of Jones, Loyd and Co., the bankers of Loth bury, under the following circumstances : Mr. Loyd said that the firm owned some houses in Tokenhouse-yard, which were uninhabited, and that the prisoner was observed to go deliberately in front of one them and strip the entablature over the hall-door of lead ; some days after which he again appeared, and made another at tempt, which, however, did not prove so successful. The prisoner was wholly unknown to the firm, but appeared to do the business with as much ease as if he had been regu larly engaged to clear away the lead. A female who resides in the house opposite to those in the possession of the prosecutors, stated that she saw the prisoner about three weeks ago remove the lead from over the door, and carry it away. She thought, as it was done deliberately, and in the broad day, that the man was em ployed to do the job, especially as he carried the lead up a passage, which she supposed led to some premises, but she afterwards ascertained that it was a thoroughfare. On Thursday she saw the prisoner again on the spot. He tried to remove a leaden pipe from the house, but could not pluck it away, although he shook it with all his might. The prisoner had a ladder, and he ascended it, raised the window of the first floor, and endeavoured to push in the shutter, but was unsuccessful. Witness was looking at him from the opposite house, and believed that he saw her watching ; for he descended the ladder and went away, leaving the ladder behind him. Some time afterwards, however, he returned, and took the latter, but was appre hended before he went far. _ _ _ Another female deposed that she saw the back of the prisoner when he tried to get into the house. She was sure she could not be mistakea. _ A. gentleman named Faircloth, who resides opposite to the houses of Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co., stated that he saw the prisoner bring a ladder at half-past 2on Thurs day, and place it against one of the houses, the window shutters of which he attempted to open with violence. Witness immediately went to the banking-house and asked whether they bad employed any person to take away the lead. He was told that no one was authorized to do so, and reqUested, if he saw the person who had endeavoured to enter the premises again, to cause him to be taken into custody. Upon witness's return the prisoner was gone, but after some time the prisonor returned, and was coolly con veying away the ladder when he was taken into custody. The lead which was taken from the penthouse over the door, was about two yards in length. The prisoner —I went to take away the ladder, but I never stole anything in my life. Besides, these women said they could not swear that I was the person they saw before. The girls said that they had expressed an unwillingness to swear, because they had never before sworn, but they had no hesitation about the prisoner's identity. The employer of the prisoner stated that he never had known the man to act dishonestly. He employed fifty men, but he did not make any inquiry into the character of the prisoner when he gave him work. The prisoner was fully committed. GUILDHALL. Yesterday James Lee, the driver of a cabriolet, was brought before Mr. Alderman Harmer, charged with driving furiously through Cheapside on Sunday afternoon. Smith, a policeman, stated, that when he saw the cab coming up at such an improper pace, he called to him to stop. No regard being paid to this, he succeeded in catching hold of the reins, when he found the driver was drunk inside the cab, and a strangei-, who was sitting by his side, was driving, while a second stranger sat in the dickey. The latter person was bawling, " Keep out of the road." The pace was fully ten miles per hour. Mr. Alderman HARMER asked if the speed was such as to endanger the public ? The complainant replied in the affirmative. The prisoner said he was a poor man, and he hoped the Alderman would be as favourable as possible. Mr. Alderman HARMER said if he were a poor man, and unable to pay the fine, he should be doubly cautious, when he drove through great public thoroughfares, not to incur penalties. He could not fine him less than 10s. The defendant paid the fine. BOW-STREET. Yesterday a lad named John Rowbottom was charged before Mr. HALLS, by Carter, a Marlborough-street officer, with having in his possession thirty-six quires of Cleave's Weekly Dispatch, and thirteen quires of Hetherington's Twopenny Dispatch, both bearing date Saturday the 2d instant. The defendant was seen by Carter, between seven and e i g ht o'clock on Saturday morning , ca rr ying the pap er s in question along the Strand. The witness, upon examining the parcel, and finding it to contain unstamped newspapers, took the defendant into custody. He now said in his defence, that he h a d rece i ve d six pence to carry the parcel to Bride-lane, Fleet-street. Having been previously detected carryi ng unstamped pa pers, the magistrate observed that he could not plead ig norance of the law, and - ordered him to be committed for tw6 months to the House of Correction. V William itadd l y, due crt the regular newsmen, who keeps a shop in King-street, Pimlico, ths charged by Shackell, the gaoler, with having in his possession four numbers of the Weekly Times, an unstamped newspaper. The defendant was seen by Shackell in the Strand, ttt seven o'clock on Sunday morning, carrying a quantity of stamped newspapers, but, on searching the parcel, the four unstamped publications in question were found concealed amongst them. Th defendant declared that he did not deal in unstamped papers, and that the four numbers of the Weekly Times found upon him were not meant to be sold by him, but were merely intended for his own reading, and .to oblige some friends. He begged hard to be let off ; but Mr. HALLS said, that if he overlooked the offence in him, he should be (loin , * injustice to others whom he had convicted. The defendant must have been aware of what he was doing, and of the penalty to which he had subjected himself, and he must now take the consequence. He was. then sentenced to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. In the course of the day a respectable looking old man applied to the, Magistrate on his behalf to remit the sen tence, but he was informed that it could not be done, ex cept by an order from the Secretary of State. UNION-HALL. Yesterday John Sharp, a printer, residing in Kent-street, was summoned on an information at the instance of the so licitor of stamps, for vending two numbers of the un stamped publication called the Weekly Times. Mr. Sercombe, of the Stamp Office, attended to con duct the case ; and Mr. Wooler on the behalf of the de fendant. Mr. John Stomeil, an officer of stamp duties, laid the in formation, and called John Simpson, who stated that on Sunday, the 13th ult. he went to the defendant's shop, and purchased the paper called the Weekly Times, (now prGduced.) On the 20th of the same month, the witness again called at the defen dant's shop, and purchased another paper of a similar title. The witness added that the defendant was in the shop on each occasion. Mr. Wooler said that on looking at the two papers pro duced, both bearing the same title, he found that they were published by different persons, from one of whom his client never purchased ; and therefore the informer's witness could not have bought it at his shop. The witness was recalled, and he said that he purchased both of the papers at Mr. Sharp's shop, in the presence of Mr. Stowell ; a fact which was verified by the latter officer. Mr. WEDGWOOD said that the case was complete against the defendant. He was not like some of those ignorant and unfortunate persons who went about the streets vend ing papers of that description, many of whom had the plea of poverty to assign for their illegal acts. The defendant must have been fully aware that he was acting in defiance of the law, and therefore committed the offence with his eyes open. Mr. Wooler said that the question relative to the stamp duties would soon be set at rest ; that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had intimated that the stamp duty was about to be reduced to one penny on each paper, and that in con sequence of that announcement the defendant thought that, as the matter would be so soon decided, the Stamp-office authorities would not have proceeded against him. He (Mr. Wooler) was aware that Magistrates still retained the power of adjudicating in such cases ; but as the defendant was summoned under a highly penal clause of the Act, which if carried into operation would have the effect of con signing him to a gaol, he trusted that, under all the circum stances, the fines would be remitted, on his promise not to offend in future. Mr. SERCOMBE said that this was not7a solitary instance of the defendant's having broken the law ; he had been convicted twice of the offence before ; upon the first occa sion he had been committed for two months to Kingston, and the second time he was also convicted and sentenced to three months' imprisonment, but that in consequence of Mr. Wooler's interference, and the defendant's promise not to sell any more unstamped publications, the punishnwt was not inflicted. Mr. WEDGWOOD said that the defendant had warnings enough on the subject, and that as long as the law re mained as it was, he was bound to obey it. The magi strate then inflicted a fine of 401. on the defendant for sell ing these unstamped papers, and in default of payment committed him for three months to Kingston gaol. In the course of the day, a man named Whiteman at for the purpose of giving information of his having been robbed of eighty-eight sovereigns, and applied for the assis tance of an officer to trace, if possible, his money. The applicant excited some laughter during the detail of his loss. He said that he was acquainted with a certain "lady," for whom he entertained a very high respect until of late. Some time ago he was left a sum of money by a relative, and this fact was known to the lady to whom he alluded, who on a recent occasion told him that she had some very dreadful and alarming dreams about him. He inquired the nature of the dreams, and she told him that one night he appeared before with his throat cut, and said that she was sure something would happen to him, and im plored him not to be out in bye-places, for so sure as he did the dream would be realized. After this warning he always left his money at home, and a few days ago his fe male friend, who lives in the Kent-road, invited him to her house, and kept him there until very late ; in fact he did not get home until two o'clock the next day, he having rambled about until that hour ; and when he got home, he disco vered that eighty-eight sovereigns were gone. Mr. JEREMY asked the applicant the grounds of his sus picion against the " certain lady" he spoke about ? The applicant replied, that he suspected that she and his land lady were colleaguing together ; and that his female friend made up the story herself of her dream about his throat being cut, with a view to make him leave his money at home, and then watched him out, to give an opportunity to her colleague to rob him. Mr. JEREMY inquired where the money was kept before it was stolen ?—The applicant said that he placed it in a bowl on a shelf, behind his bedstead, and that the thief did not leave him a " feather to fly with ;" in fact, he was left pennyless. Diller, the officer, said that he had made`some inquiries about the robbery, when he was first apprized of it by the ap plicant, and that it was involved in such mystery that it was impossible to make any discovery as yet, particularly as the applicant had blabbed it everywhere, and given the parties suspected an opportunity of getting rid of te money if they pleased. In answer to another question, the applicant said that his " female friend" was in ,the habit of " diving into futurity," and being possessed of the gift, he was induced to leave his money at home, instead of taking it about him, after she told him that he would have his throat cut. Mr. JEREMY said that the applicant's suspicion was not sufficiently strong against either of the parties he mentioned to justify search warrants being granted to examine their premises. He had better allow things to remain as they were for a few days, and probably some clue would be dis covered which would lead to the recovery of his money. Diller, the officer, was then directed to make further in quiries on the subject. W OR SHIP- STREET. Yesterday Dennis M'Donnell was brought up for re examination, charged with having been concerned with his wife in a system of robbery. The circumstances under which he was charged were as follow : On Sunday se'nnight Perke, police constable 198 G, who had some previous knowledge of the prisoner, stopped him in the street with several pieces of new silk in his posses sion ; and it was afterwards ascertained that his wife was in custody at the Hatton-garden police-office, having been de tected in stealing some shawls from the shop of Mr. James, a draper, in Middle-row, Holborn. An inspector of the C division (Mr. Crew) here stated, that after the man had been taken he went with Perke to search the lodging of the prisoner in Long-alley, and he produced a list of property found there, including a number of very handsome silk shawls, handkerchiefs, silk stockings, laces, net, and a great variety of articles, quite new, and which there was no doubt had been stolen from different shops. He ascertained also that the prisoner Dennis M'Donnell was a deserter from the East India Company's service. A shopman, in the employ of Messrs. Taverner and Kempt, linen-drapers, identified a piece of linen produced. It had been stolen from the shop shortly after it was re ceived there, and before it had been marked for sale. [The witness produced the invoice, in which it was marked as " stolen.") Mr. Kendall, who has boot and shoe warehouses on Saffron•hill, identified three pairs of shoes. The female prisoner, whom he saw at Hatton-garden on Saturday, had entered the premises to try on some boots, and she called in the other prisoner, her husband, to lace them for her. Im mediately after their departure the shoes were missed. — The prisoners were again remanded. We announce with deep rearet the death of the Rev. Dr. Valpy, upwards of fifty years t 'an inhabitant of this town. He was nearly the whole of that time head master of our gram mar-school. To deep classical learning he united the most extensive general knowledge ; habitually studious, and having enjoyed the advantage of travel in foreign countries, his tact was very great in communicating classical literature. His powers of conversation were transcendent. As a preacher his eloquence was fervid and persuasive—he was often called into the service of the public charities with great success ; always devoted to genuine Christianity, Isis piety was sincere, kind, and unostentatious, and we may truly say " a . great man h as fallen." W e h ear t h at his remains are to be interred in the Public Cemetery, near London, on Tuesday next.—Reading Mercury.
